MAINTENANCE
Drive Shaft Boots
Check the drive shaft boots and clamps for 
cracks, deterioration and damage. Replace 
any deteriorated or damaged parts and, if 
necessary, repack the grease. A quali ed 
technician should perform these operations.
Driver’s Floor Mat
• Only use the driver’s floor mat   
designed specifically for the model   
and model year of your vehicle.
•  Always properly secure the driver’s   
floor mat using the retaining hooks.
•  Never install another floor mat on top   
of the existing driver’s floor mat.
•  Never install the driver’s floor mat   
upside down.
Engine Air Filter
Inspect or replace at speci ed intervals.  
When performing inspections, check for 
damage, excessive wear and oiliness, and 
replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain the cooling system and re ll with an 
ethylene-glycol type coolant. Inspect hoses 
and connections for corrosion and leaks. 
Tighten connections and replace parts   
when necessary. A quali ed technician   
should perform these operations. (For   
further details, refer to “Radiator, Condenser 
and Hoses” in the “Maintenance and Care” 
section of the Owner’s Manual ).
Your Toyota is equipped with Genuine 
Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant. The 
replacement intervals for engine coolant 
recommended in this booklet are based 
on replacement with Genuine Toyota 
Super Long-Life Coolant or similar 
high-quality non-silicate, non-amine, 
non-borate ethylene-glycol coolant with 
long-life hybrid organic acid technology 
(i.e., a combination of low phosphates 
and organic acids). If another type of   
ethylene-glycol coolant is used, 
replacement intervals may be different.
